Chapter 336: Outlet Store
Nintendo is proud, careless, contemptuous, mainly games. In addition to their own continuous release of new games every year, various downstream game manufacturers are also continuously putting various high-quality games on their platforms for release www.biquge.info and sales.
Nintendo also despised one piece, Yibao's pursuit of the brand.
No matter how many games Yibao launches, if you don't want to make progress and only design the game console based on the technology transferred by Nintendo, you will undoubtedly lower the pressure on yourself.
Yokoi Junhei said that the big surprise has nothing to do with the game, it only has the game console.
Also, it is impossible for Nintendo to set a clause that will not allow Yibao to develop game consoles. However, Yibao has made such a big move, Nintendo should be careful, develop some technologies first, and register the patent, which will form a new patent barrier to Yibao. That's when Yibao has a headache.
But Nintendo didn't ...... Nintendo didn't have it, which doesn't mean that Li Mo is not worried, so he repeatedly told Yokoi Junhei to develop a new game console. In this way, even if Nintendo develops newer game consoles in the future, either overlapping with Yibao in patents, Yibao can continue to develop newer game consoles in their technology, or, research and development will go in two different directions, but no matter which one, Nintendo will not form a new patent barrier to Yibao.
This is good news, because it came much earlier than he and Yokoi thought it would be.
Li Mo said: "Hao Like, this time I must let him register the relevant patents immediately, with our own core patents, Yibao will form a real brand, will have unlimited prospects." ”
"Okay, boss, something very funny happened, I went to that Yuuki Masami with the manuscript, and he said a word, isn't that very similar to our idea?"
"We?"
"That Yuki Masami and Mamoru Oshii, Kazunori Ito, Tomomi Takada, Hiroshi Ibuchi, why are Japanese names so hard to remember......"
Is it difficult for you Americans to remember their names? Li Mo said: "Whether it is difficult to remember or not, let's talk about it." ”
"The five of them set up a HEADGEAR studio, and they were working on an anime that they hadn't decided on yet, and they said that the synopsis of your draft was very similar to the synopsis of Masami Yuuki. This kind of person is really shameless......"
Li Mo felt embarrassed, it wasn't Yuki Masami who was shameless, it was he who was shameless.
Nearly crashed into the car, Hao Lick must have been indignant in his heart, but Yuuki Masami was also dumbfounded, he didn't believe that Li Mo would copy his idea. Besides, it is impossible for Li Mo to copy his ideas. Not to mention status and reputation, where can Li Mo copy his ideas?
Then he inquired about what ideas Li Mo made last year, many of which have been adapted into novels one after another, and are being sold wholesale by bantams...... Yuki Masami suddenly "understood", Li Mo came up with so many ideas in a short time, involving all aspects of the story, but one of the ideas had a coincidence with himself.
But he still feels a little weird, a coincidence is a coincidence, how did he just find himself?
This lawsuit is not easy to fight, one person has registered the copyright, and the other person will believe that Li Mo plagiarized his own idea? I don't believe it anymore, how can others believe it?
Li Moti's requirements are not high.
Animation is a big movie, and the general box office is just the same thing, and the production cost is expensive, and there are very few animated movies that can make money.
The anime adaptation of the game seems too far away, as if it couldn't happen.
What really makes Io Studios and Rong Dirk profitable is toy derivatives.
This profit is not small, but what if the car has crashed and everyone has registered the copyright? Besides, it is not clear whether it is popular or not.
Li Mo didn't want the right of signature, and he had already written a detailed outline, setting, and even drew the main characters, and even his own start-up capital was ready, and several people thought about it again and again, although it was very supernatural, so that they couldn't understand it, they still signed their names on the contract unwillingly.
After becoming famous, they were still unwilling, and other authors expressed their gratitude to Li Moji, or implicitly expressed their gratitude to Io Studio, but they kept silent, and finally asked other authors unwillingly.
The other authors didn't crash, they shook their heads one by one, and then said that it might be a coincidence, and a very small number of people still showed contempt in their eyes, and they didn't want the right of authorship, what else do you want to fight for? Do you even have to fight for derivatives?
Several people had to come back honestly, thinking that it was really a coincidence.
Because at that time, they were not even qualified to say that Li Mo plagiarized.
Li Mo wanted to cover his chest at this time.
I feel fortunate in my heart, if it's a little later, whether it's a comic or an anime, I can't explain it clearly. While flipping through the photos brought by Hao Like, he pretended to be casual and said: "Hao Like, there are two kinds of people in employing people, one is relatives, and people around you, such as you." One is a talented person, he may not be benevolent, he may not be loyal, and he may not have any morality, but we just use him to do things for us, regardless of his morality?"
"Boss, that's the case, but I'm still unhappy in my heart. ”
"What's so uneven? Like the people at O'Melvenys, are they fair to you?"
"Yes, Lee, you are the greatest noble person in my life. Only then did Halick get happy.
"So, I'll ask you to pick some Chinese and Americans to work as interns at Yipo, which is ultimately a Sino-American company." But don't say this to the public. ”
"I understand. ”
Li Mo finally fixed his eyes on a photo, the photo in his memory was already a middle-aged uncle, but the person in this photo was very young, Li Mo thought hard, and looked at this person's information.
"Hao Lick, the slam dunk master will be handed over to him to draw. ”
"Yuhiko Inoue, is he okay?" asked Hao Like, who also looked at the information, suspiciously.
Draw a manga.,The comic that just came out,"Kaede Purple Love," won the Tezuka Award.,But this manga isn't long.,That's not the main problem.,The main problem is that this author is not very old.,Only twenty-one years old.。
Li Mo rejoiced in his heart again, because the protagonist of this "Maple Purple Love" is Rukawa Kaede, and he is also afraid of crashing, the original name is not written in the comics, only the surname, what is the name, or let the original author think slowly.
There are a lot of people with the surname Rukawa, and the settings of the two books are very different...... In fact, there were crashes, but the crashes were not as severe as in "Mobile Police", at least so that Inoue Yuhiko would not be suspicious. Basketball is written and written, that's it, is it difficult to write about playing basketball on the moon?
But Li Mo secretly said in his heart that if he looks for someone again in a few years, he can't wait until the car is about to crash, and then ask someone to paint, and if he has more times, even Hao Like will have some supernatural thoughts, which is very bad. But the reason why we have to find out these original authors is that there are many original authors, Li Mo still remembers, at least some approximate impressions, such as Inoue Yuhiko, he can't remember his name, but he can vaguely remember that he looks very handsome. The second is that these comics are too long, dozens of episodes and hundreds of episodes at every turn, some can be serialized for decades, he has only seen a small part, even if he has read all of them and remembers, he can't write an outline one episode at a time, that's called picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. Let other authors write it, and God knows what these cartoons have become?
If you doubt it, you doubt it, the contract is signed, what can you do!
He said: "This comic book is also basketball, this person also likes to play basketball, it has nothing to do with age, is it younger than me?"
Li Mo insisted that Hao Lik would not have any doubts.
He went on to talk about the reaction of the third animated short, "Shrek", followed by "Ice Age", but swapped the rights to Alice with Disney, and Io Studios sold the rights to both of them to Disney.
There is also a revenue share of derivatives, and before the big movie is released, the derivatives must go to Velvet Decker. After the movie is released, Disney can get sixty percent of the proceeds, and Li Mo has no objection to this. Just like Jurassic Park, the two film companies have more income from derivatives than Velvet Decker, but this is also a compromise that must be made, otherwise the relationship between the two sides will not be good in the future. Moreover, Li Mo signed some contract terms with Disney, including his right to review the script and editing, as well as the right to decide the shooting date, which is also understandable to Disney, the current production of these cartoons, the technology really can't keep up, in addition, Li Mo also has a 38% investment ratio and a 30% dividend ratio, after the actual movie is released, Li Mo still takes more than Disney.
This is also the reason why Li Mo draws which comics, not only can he get the income of derivatives, but when he makes animation, whether it is a production unit or a broadcast unit, if he wants to divide these derivatives, he must also pull Li Mo to invest, so in the same way, Li Mo can also get more benefits from these animations,
For the authors, except for Yuki Masami who set up a studio, Li Mo did take advantage, but for other authors, Li Mo did not take much advantage, because they may not be able to negotiate well in derivatives contracts, even if they get something, it will not be too much.
At least Li Mo gave them a lot of help.
However, Disney is also satisfied with this ratio, because Li Mo is an investor, and he takes the initiative to put dividends and investments in a reasonable ratio.
That's what Li Mo called a win-win situation.
Anyway, as Li Mo's partners, except for the Bosak couple and some very few domestic state-owned enterprise leaders, it is generally more pleasant to cooperate with Li Mo. Including Yuki Masami, they were puzzled and unwilling, but in the subsequent production of animated feature films, Li Mo gave a lot of help one after another, so what else can be said? It is that there is no crash, it is like this, how much loss has I suffered? Reputation? The right of authorship is yours, and Li Mo did not ask for it.
Therefore, Yuki Masami has always been unwilling in the hearts of several people, but he can't openly express any dissatisfaction with Li Mo. In this way, the mobile police were rolled out in a daze...... The further back they went, no matter how dissatisfied they were, the more they didn't dare to say anything to Li Mo.
This animated short film was written by Steve Jobs, of course, it will not be bad, but it has aroused many American ideas of resentment, don't you have an appetite? Even if the technology is not enough to support the production of a whole big movie, let's have a good time by releasing the comic book first. The movie is not visible, and the comic book is locked in the safe of Studio Io...... Well, someone actually paid a high price to encourage a rogue to steal these comic books from Io Studios.
Only Disney secretly rejoiced when he saw the audience's performance.
Hao Lik talked about the animated shorts, and then about Yili's situation.
There is no headquarters, so it has to be like this, each company will report the situation to Li Mo from time to time, Hao Like remote monitoring through several fund companies, and also report the situation to Li Mo from time to time.
It can be made up for now, and if it continues for another three or four years, this model will definitely go wrong.
Yili raised an astronomical amount of money, even more than Li Mo's actual wealth, but this money cannot be said to be Li Mo's, and she only dares to use half of it to build a direct sales store. The rest is regarded as working capital, and I would rather stay in the bank, and the working capital cannot be reduced.
This is also what Li Mo has repeatedly instructed, and the other thing he has instructed is to be slow rather than fast.
Under Li Mo's emphasis, several high-level executives of Yili also became cautious, and they did not spread too fast, and about 150 to 170 direct sales stores could be rolled out in the end. The United States is the main one, and the rest is Canada, and Latin America is Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, and Uruguay. The others were either small countries or landlocked countries, and Li Mo did not participate.
Some of the top executives of Yili Company have some opposition to Li Mo's decision, and the 80-year debt crisis has plunged Latin American countries into a long-term economic recession, which is known as the lost decade.
But Li Mo still vaguely remembers some of the history of this general direction, and even wrote several entries in his notebook, and immediately Latin America gradually began new economic reforms, and state-owned enterprises were gradually privatized, and some countries even privatized them entirely.
As a result of this reform, the overall economy of all countries began to grow, and the gap between the rich and the poor widened, just like China ten years later, the poor were poor, the rich were rich, and worse, the employment rate was not improved. As a result, the leftists in some countries came to power and forcibly took over foreign capital as state again, and even affected some Chinese investments for a time. For example, Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia, and El Dogua do not seem to have succeeded, and on the contrary, many countries have become worse economically.
This is a general direction, one, many countries have been implementing the reform of new economic liberalization, at this time Yili entered, the cost is extremely low, especially the house price, since the outbreak of the housing bubble in Latin America in 84, the house has also fallen to the price of cabbage, although the price is still very expensive, but as long as someone buys, the price is negotiable.
After the 90s, many capitals began to notice the Latin American market, and the housing prices became smaller and smaller, to use an analogy, at present, the shops are asking for 10,000 US dollars per square meter, but the price is ruthless, 2,000 US dollars can be obtained, and after the 90s, there is no 5,000 US dollars can not be obtained.
Secondly, the nationalization of various countries was mainly aimed at energy, not shops.
Although the profit of these investments is very low at present, the cost of upfront investment is also low, as long as it is delayed for a few years, whether it is the value of the store itself or the sales, it will increase significantly.
The rest are Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea and Hong Kong.
Needless to say, Indonesia has nothing to do with the South China Sea, and now it seems that the economy is fine, but Li Mo knows that in the future, this country will soon be inferior to China.
Wanwan also did not have a direct sales store, not that Yili had Li Mo's figure, but that Li Mo was worried that in the future, which daily groceries and green frogs would take advantage of Yili's direct sales store.
This is the situation of Yili's parent company, and then the situation of the domestic subsidiary, in terms of store investment, it is the most cost-effective, plus the magic capital supports a large number of loans, and this year may successively increase the number of direct sales stores to more than 80.
There will be more in the future...... From the perspective of investment, investing in China is the most cost-effective, but from the perspective of this year's income, it is still the highest in North America and the lowest in China. Although the advertisement works very well, the consumption level of most people in China is limited, and the price of Yili in China is also low, resulting in limited profit margins, and the monthly payment of the house, personnel expenses, taxes, labor costs, transportation, etc., are almost a small profit.
But there will be a ridiculous scene soon......
